Austria
Austria (
i/ˈɒstriə/ or /ˈɔːstriə/; German: Österreich [ˈøːstɐˌʁaɪç] (
listen)), officially the Republic of Austria (German: 
Republik Österreich (help·info)), is a landlocked country of roughly 8.47 million people in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,855 square kilometres (32,377 sq mi) and has a temperate and alpine climate. Austria's terrain is highly mountainous due to the presence of the Alps; only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft), and its highest point is 3,798 metres (12,461 ft). The majority of the population speak local Austro-Bavarian dialects of German as their native language, and German in its standard form is the country's official language. Other local official languages are Burgenland Croatian, Hungarian and Slovene.
The origins of modern-day Austria date back to the time of the Habsburg dynasty when the vast majority of the country was a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Austria became one of the great powers of Europe and, in response to the coronation of Napoleon I as the Emperor of the French, the Austrian Empire was officially proclaimed in 1804. In 1867, the Austrian Empire was reformed into Austria-Hungary.

Belgium
Belgium (i/ˈbɛldʒəm/ BEL-jəm), officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a federal state in Western Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts the EU's headquarters, and those of several other major international organisations such as NATO. Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 sq mi), and it has a population of about 11 million people. Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups, the Dutch-speakers, mostly Flemish (about 60%), and the French-speakers, mostly Walloons (about 40%), plus a small group of German-speakers. Belgium's two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region. A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government.

Belgrade
Belgrade ( /ˈbɛlɡreɪd/; Serbian: Београд; [beǒɡrad] ( listen); names in other languages) is the capital and largest city of Serbia. The city is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans. Its name in English translates to White city. The city proper has a population of over 1.1 million, while its metropolitan area has over 1.6 million people, making it one of the largest cities in Southeast Europe.
One of the largest prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved around the area Belgrade in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region, and after 279 BC Celts conquered the city, naming it Singidūn. It was conquered by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, and awarded city rights in the mid 2nd century. It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times before it became the capital of King Stephen Dragutin (1282–1316). In 1521 Belgrade was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became the seat of a the Sanjak of Smederevo. It frequently passed from Ottoman to Habsburg rule, which saw the destruction of most of the city during the Austro-Ottoman wars. Belgrade was again named the capital of Serbia in 1841. The north of Belgrade remained a Habsburg outpost until 1918, when it was merged into the capital city. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times. Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia (in various forms of governments) from its creation in 1918, to its final dissolution in 2006.

Brazil
Brazili/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

Bulgaria
Coordinates: 42°45′N 25°30′E / 42.75°N 25.5°E / 42.75; 25.5
Bulgariai/bʌlˈɡɛəriə/ (Bulgarian: България, IPA: [bɤ̞ɫˈɡarijɐ]), is a country located in Southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and the Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south and the Black Sea to the east. With a territory of 110,994 square kilometres (42,855 sq mi), Bulgaria is Europe's 14th-largest country. Its location has made it a historical crossroad for various civilisations and as such it is the home of some of the earliest metalworking, religious and other cultural artifacts in the world.
Prehistoric cultures began developing on Bulgarian lands during the Neolithic period. Its ancient history was marked by the presence of the Thracians, and later by the Greeks and Romans. The emergence of a unified Bulgarian ethnicity and state dates back to the First Bulgarian Empire, which dominated most of the Balkans and functioned as a cultural hub for Slavic peoples during the Middle Ages. With the downfall of the Second Bulgarian Empire in 1396, its territories came under Ottoman rule for nearly five hundred years. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 resulted in the Third Bulgarian State, recognised in 1908. The following years saw several conflicts with its neighbours, which prompted Bulgaria to align with Germany in both World Wars. In 1946 it became a Communist republic with a single-party system until 1989, when the Communist Party allowed multi-party elections. After 1990 Bulgaria transitioned to democracy and a market-based economy.

Cameroon
Cameroon, officially the Republic of Cameroon (French: République du Cameroun), is a country in west Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Bonny, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. The country is called "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity. Natural features include beaches, deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. The highest point is Mount Cameroon in the southwest, and the largest cities are Douala, Yaoundé, and Garoua. Cameroon is home to over 200 different linguistic groups. The country is well known for its native styles of music, particularly makossa and bikutsi, and for its successful national football team. French and English are the official languages.
Early inhabitants of the territory included the Sao civilisation around Lake Chad and the Baka hunter-gatherers in the southeastern rainforest. Portuguese explorers reached the coast in the 15th century and named the area Rio dos Camarões ("River of Prawns"), the name from which Cameroon derives. Fulani soldiers founded the Adamawa Emirate in the north in the 19th century, and various ethnic groups of the west and northwest established powerful chiefdoms and fondoms. Cameroon became a German colony in 1884.

Dalmatia
Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmacija, Croatian pronunciation: [dǎlmaːt͡sija]; see names in other languages) is a historical region on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, in Croatia. It stretches from the island of Rab in the northwest to the Bay of Kotor in the southeast. The hinterland, the Dalmatian Zagora, ranges from fifty kilometers in width in the north to just a few kilometers in the south. The Dalmatian dog received its name from Dalmatia, as does the dalmatic, a Roman Catholic liturgical vestment worn by deacons and bishops.
The name Dalmatia derives from the name of the tribe of the Dalmatae, which is connected with the Illyrian word delme, dele in modern Albanian, meaning "sheep" in English.
In antiquity the Roman province of Dalmatia was much larger than the present-day Dalmatia County of Croatia, stretching from Istria in the north to historical Albania in the south. Dalmatia signified not only a geographical unit, but was an entity based on common culture and settlement types, a common narrow eastern Adriatic coastal belt, Mediterranean climate, sclerophyllous vegetation of the Illyrian province, Adriatic carbonate platform, and karst geomorphology.

Donetsk
Donetsk (Ukrainian: Донецьк Ukrainian pronunciation: [doˈnɛt͡sʲk], translit. Donets’k; Russian: Доне́цк, translit. Donetsk; former names: Yuzovka, Staline, Stalino, see also: Cities' alternative names), is a large city in eastern Ukraine on the Kalmius river.

Donetsk is a major economic, industrial and scientific center of Ukraine with a high concentration of companies and a skilled workforce.
The city was founded in 1869 by a Welsh businessman, John Hughes, who constructed a steel plant and several coal mines in the region; the town was thus named Yuzovka (Юзовка) in recognition of his role in its founding ("Yuz" being a Russian or Ukrainian approximation of Hughes). During Soviet times, the city's steel industry was expanded. In 1924–1931, the town was renamed in Stalino (Сталино). In 1932 the city became the center of Donetsk region. Today, the city remains the center for Ukraine's coal mining and notable steel industry center.

Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is the largest western European country and it possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, covering 11,035,000 km2 (4,260,000 sq mi), just behind that of the United States (11,351,000 km2 / 4,383,000 sq mi).
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and around the world. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America and Southeast Asia; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest colonial empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

Germany
Germany (i/ˈdʒɜrməni/), officially the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, pronounced [ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant] ( listen)), is a federal parliamentary republic in Europe. The country consists of 16 states while the capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany covers an area of 357,021 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state and the largest economy in the European Union. It is one of the major political powers of the European continent and a technological leader in many fields.
A region named Germania, inhabited by several Germanic peoples, was documented before AD 100. During the Migration Period, the Germanic tribes expanded southward, and established successor kingdoms throughout much of Europe. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation while southern and western parts remained dominated by Roman Catholic denominations, with the two factions clashing in the Thirty Years' War, marking the beginning of the Catholic–Protestant divide that has characterized German society ever since. Occupied during the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of Pan-Germanism inside the German Confederation resulted in the unification of most of the German states into the German Empire in 1871 which was Prussian dominated. After the German Revolution of 1918–1919 and the subsequent military surrender in World War I, the Empire was replaced by the Weimar Republic in 1918, and partitioned in the Treaty of Versailles. Amidst the Great Depression, the Third Reich was proclaimed in 1933. The latter period was marked by Fascism and World War II. After 1945, Germany was divided by allied occupation, and evolved into two states, East Germany and West Germany. In 1990 Germany was reunified.

Israel is defined as a Jewish and Democratic State in its Basic Laws and is the world's only Jewish-majority state.
Following the adoption of a resolution by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 29 November 1947 recommending the adoption and implementation of the United Nations plan to partition Palestine, on 14 May 1948 David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel, a state independent from the British Mandate for Palestine. Neighboring Arab states invaded the next day in support of the Palestinian Arabs. Israel has since fought several wars with neighboring Arab states, in the course of which it has occupied the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. Portions of these territories, including east Jerusalem, have been annexed by Israel, but the border with the neighboring West Bank has not yet been permanently defined.[neutrality is disputed] Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, but efforts to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict have so far not resulted in peace.

Mostar
Mostar is a city and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the largest and one of the most important cities in the Herzegovina region and the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva river and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (natively: mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over Neretva river. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
Human settlements on the river Neretva, between the Hum Hill and the Velež Mountain, have existed since prehistory, as witnessed by discoveries of fortified enceintes and cemeteries. Evidence of Roman occupation was discovered beneath the present town.
As far as the medieval Mostar goes, although the Christian basilicas of late antiquity remained in use, few historical sources were preserved and not much is known about this period. The name of Mostar was first mentioned in a document dating from 1474, taking its name from the bridge-keepers (mostari); this refers to the existence of a wooden bridge from the market on the left bank of the river which was used by traders, soldiers, and other travelers. During this time it was also the seat of a kadiluk (district with a regional judge). Since Mostar was on the trade route between the Adriatic and the mineral-rich regions of central Bosnia, the settlement began to spread to the right bank of the river.

Most of the conquered territories outside the Scandinavian Peninsula were lost during the 18th and 19th centuries. The eastern half of Sweden, present-day Finland, was lost to Russia in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in 1814, when Sweden by military means forced Norway into a personal union. Since then, Sweden has been at peace, practicing "non-participation in military alliances during peacetime and neutrality during wartime". However, Sweden has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995 and is a member of the OECD.

Switzerland
Switzerland (German: die Schweiz[ˈʃvaɪts]; French: Suisse [sɥis(ə)]; Italian: Svizzera [ˈzvit͡sːɛra]; Romansh: Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ] or [ˈʒviːtsʁːɐ]), in its full name the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, hence its abbreviation CH), is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities. The country is situated in western Europe, where it is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.
Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8 million people is concentrated mostly on the Plateau, where the largest cities are to be found. Among them are the two global cities and economic centres of Zurich and Geneva.
The Swiss Confederation has a long history of armed neutrality—it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. It pursues, however, an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world. Switzerland is also the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to a large number of international organizations, including the second largest UN office. On the European level, it is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association and is part of the Schengen Area – although it is notably not a member of the European Union, nor the European Economic Area.

West Germany
West Germany (German: Westdeutschland) is the common English name for the Federal Republic of Germany or FRG (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland) in the period between its creation in May 1949 to German reunification on 3 October 1990.
During this period, West Germany and the communist East Germany were divided by the Inner German border. After 1961, West Berlin was physically separated from East Berlin as well as from East Germany by the Berlin Wall. This situation ended when East Germany was dissolved and its five states joined the ten states of the Federal Republic of Germany along with the reunified city-state of Berlin. The enlarged Federal Republic of Germany with sixteen states (known simply as "Germany") is thus the continuation of the pre-1990 Federal Republic of Germany.
The Federal Republic of Germany was established from eleven states formed in the three Allied Zones of occupation held by the United States, the United Kingdom and France (the "Western Zones"). The city of Bonn was its provisional capital city. The fourth Allied occupation zone (the East Zone, or Ostzone) was held by the Soviet Union. The parts of this zone lying east of the Oder-Neisse were in fact annexed by the Soviet Union and communist Poland; the remaining central part around Berlin became the communist German Democratic Republic (abbreviated GDR; in German Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR) with its de facto capital in East Berlin. As a result, West Germany had a territory about half the size of the interwar democratic Weimar Republic.

Zemun
Zemun (Serbian Cyrillic: Земун, pronounced [zɛ̂,mun]) is a historical town and one of the 17 municipalities which constitute the City of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. For most of its history, it developed separately from Belgrade, which lies across the Sava river, but the development of New Belgrade in the late 20th century joined them together in a continuous urban area.
In ancient times, the Celtic and Roman settlement was known as Taurunum. The Frankish chroniclers of the Crusades mentioned it as Mallevila, a toponym from the 9th century. This was also a period when a Slavic name Zemln was recorded for the first time. Believed to be derived from the word zemlja, meaning earth, it was a basis for all other future names of the city: modern Serbian Земун (Cyrillic) or Zemun (Latin), Hungarian Zimony and German Semlin.

He played 45 games for the Serbia and Montenegro national football team and scored 3 goals. He was a member of the Serbia and Montenegro national football team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and was also in the squad for the UEFA Euro 2000. He has also played in Spain for Real Betis and Real Oviedo. In English, his surname is spelled Nadj (the way it is pronounced in Serbian).
The experienced Albert Nađ is a player with a "lion's heart" attribute, as the Serbian football press likes to call it. His "never give up" mentality is nevertheless a realistic picture of his skills and qualities, what made him a regular in Partizan's team, since he re-joined the "crno-beli" in 2002. Nađ was one of the best players at the Partizan Stadium. The 31-year-old was first spotted in 1992, when he played 25 games in his first season with Partizan. Until 1996 he became one of the most reliable and steady players and a move abroad was the most logical next step in his career. At Real Betis, Nađ made 56 appearances during his two years at the Lopera stadium, before he was signed by Real Oviedo. The first two seasons in Oviedo, Nađ played 43 league games, but in 2000 he was transferred to the bench. Before returning to Serbia, he nevertheless had a pretty good “farewell season” at Oviedo, playing 24 games as a first team regular. Overall, Nađ made 192 league appearances with Partizan and scored 11 goals.

Velibor Vasović
Velibor Vasović (October 3, 1939 in Požarevac, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia – March 4, 2002 in Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia) was a Serbian footballer and one of the legendary players of Partizan Belgrade.
He transferred to Ajax Amsterdam after he had lost 2-1 to Real Madrid with FK Partizan in 1966 European Cup Final (scoring the only goal for his team). He did the same (4-1 loss to AC Milan, scoring from the spot) in 1969 European Cup Final final, before leading Ajax as captain to a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos in 1971 European Cup Final final.
Vasović's career was relatively short. He only played 13 professional seasons due to the asthmatic condition he was suffering from.
He played 5 seasons for the Dutch giants (1966–1971) and was the first foreign captain in club's history.
Before that he spent seven seasons at FK Partizan (June 1958 - June 1963, June 1964 – June 1966), and even spent one season (1963/64) playing for arch rivals Red Star. His transfer to Red Star for which he received 5 million dinars (enough to buy two Mercedes vehicles at that time) generated a huge amount of controversy.

Velimir Sombolac
Velimir Sombolac (Serbian Cyrillic: Beлимиp Coмбoлaц )(born February 27, 1939 in Banja Luka) is a former Bosnian Serb football player and manager.
Following the steps of his elder brother Petar, he started playing in his hometown club FK BSK Banja Luka where he, with his team, surprisingly achieved the third place in the Yugoslav national youth championship. After this success, the BSK's coach Aco Mastala received a proposal to move to the city's main club FK Borac Banja Luka, which he accepted and brought along some of the players that helped him previously, between them, obviously, Velimir Sombolac. While in Borac, Velimir's good exhibitions didn't passed unnoticed, and, beside starting to represent the Yugoslav under-21 team, two seasons after he came there, received an invitation to move to one of the greatest Yugoslav clubs, the Belgrade's FK Partizan. There, playing alongside stars like Šoškić, Galić, Jusufi, and others, he will play six seasons with a total of 260 matches, being national champion in four occasions. In 1965 he moved to NK Olimpija Ljubljana where he will play until 1970. Together with Smajlović Arslanagić and, again, Šoškić, they would make Olimpija one of the most attractive Yugoslav First League teams. In 1970, instead of moving abroad, as many other Yugoslav players in that period and with his age did, he will move to Second League NK Orijent Rijeka where he would play one season, before returning to FK Borac Banja Luka where he will hang on his boots in 1973.

Vladimir Ivić
Vladimir Ivić (born 7 May 1977) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a midfielder for PAOK. He is the younger brother of Ilija Ivić, ex Red Star player and sports director.
Ivić usually plays in midfield either as a defensive midfielder or as an attacking one. His main strengths are his accurate passing, heading, tactical awareness and good control of the ball. His obvious lack of speed though, has prevented him from establishing himself in a more demanding European league, so he has spent most of his career in Serbia and Greece.
On club level Ivić currently plays for PAOK in the Greek league, having signed from city rival Aris on a free transfer. Although his ex club Aris made the same bid for him, he preferred PAOK, because of their manager Fernando Santos. He played in AEK Athens before going to Aris but fell in disfavour on the then manager Llorenç Serra Ferrer and was released. Ivić also played for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Partizan Belgrade in which helped them secure Yugoslav league in 1999 and 2002, the Yugoslav cup in 2001 and the Serbian league in 2003.

Stojković was born into a sporting family. His father was also a football goalkeeper and his mother was an athlete who competed in the discus throw.
Stojković joined Red Star Belgrade when he was a teenager and came up through the club's youth setup. Entering the full squad, he was initially overshadowed by Vladimir Dišljenković and as a result got to appear in only one league match during the 2001–02 season and one in the 2002–03 season, under head coach Zoran Filipović.
Due to Dišljenković's status as the first-choice keeper for Red Star, which was further cemented with the return of head coach Slavoljub Muslin, the club loaned Stojković out in late June 2003 to Bosnia and Herzegovina champions FK Leotar, who were reinforcing the squad ahead of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. He appeared in all four club's qualifying matches under head coach Mile Jovin as they got eliminated at the second qualifying round stage. However, after only two months Stojković left the club, reportedly over unpaid wages. He then tried to get a spot on Red Star roster, but head coach Muslin told Stojković that he's not counting on him for the rest of the 2003–04 season. Getting his contract terminated from Red Star, he started training privately with goalkeeping coach Tomo Savić in order to stay in competitive shape while waiting for the January 2004 transfer window to open up.

Fudbalski klub Partizan (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Партизан) or simply Partizan Belgrade, is a professional football club based in Belgrade, Serbia. In its long history, FK Partizan won as many as 38 trophies. The club is the holder of 24 national championships, 12 national cups and 1 national supercup, and has also won the Mitropa Cup in 1978. It holds records such as playing in the first European Champions' Cup match in 1955,[1] becoming the first Eastern European club to play in the European Champions' Cup final in 1966, and becoming the first club from Serbia to take part in the UEFA Champions League group stages. It is a major part of the Sports Association Partizan. The second division team FK Teleoptik is also owned by Partizan. According to a recent poll, FK Partizan is the second most popular football club in Serbia behind rivals Red Star Belgrade, with 30.5 percent of the population supporting the club.[2]
Club history[link]
Formation[link]
Partizan was founded on 4 October 1945,[3] in Belgrade, as a football section of the Central House of the Yugoslav Army "Partizan", and was named after the Partisans, the communist military formation during the World war II in Yugoslavia. The club was formed and initially managed by the group of young high officers of the Yugoslav People's Army. Among them were Svetozar Vukmanović, Koča Popović and Ratko Vujović. Two days after its establishment, Partizan made its first step on the football scene, with the friendly match against selection of Zemun that ended 4–2. Florijan Matekalo entered the record books as the first goal scorer in the history of Partizan, while Franjo Glazer was the first manager. Just three weeks later, Partizan went on the first of many international tours, travelling to Czechoslovakia where they beat the selection of Slovak Army with 3–1. At the time, just months after the WWII in Yugoslavia ended, no organized football competition was yet restored, so Partizan played only friendly games and tournaments both home and abroad.
Early years (1946–1958)[link]
Finally, in late August, 1946, the new Yugoslav league started, so Partizan played its first official match, beating Pobeda Skoplje with 1–0. Since the club had the highest ambitions from the very beginning, it attracted some of the best players from all over the country: Stjepan Bobek, Miroslav Brozović, Zlatko Čajkovski, Kiril Simonovski, Bela Palfi, Franjo Rupnik, Prvoslav Mihajlović, Aleksandar Atanacković, Miodrag Jovanović, Vladimir Firm, Ratko Čolić and Franjo Šoštarić. Prominent football expert Illés Spitz became the manager, and spent next 14 years on various positions in the club. His implementation of top European training methods and playing tactics, combined with technically gifted squad, proved essential in winning the first championship in debut season, along with the first cup title. The second championship title was won in 1948–49 season. Partizan played its home games on the old BSK stadium until 1949, when its own stadium was built on the same site and named Stadion JNA (Stadium of Yugoslav People's Army).
In 1950 the club evolved from a football section of the Army into independent club under the umbrella organization JSD Partizan. The first clubs president became Ratko Vujović. In 1953 the remaining formal connections between the club and the Army ceased. Although during the 1950s Partizan had a very strong squad, led by national team players like Bobek, Čajkovski, Miloš Milutinović, Marko Valok, Bruno Belin, Tomislav Kaloperović and Branko Zebec, the club had a long break without winning a championship, only winning cup titles in 1952, 1954 and 1957. Despite the absence of domestic titles, Partizan's great performances on high quality tournaments throughout Europe gained them significant continental reputation. On 4 September 1955, Partizan participated in the first ever Champions Cup match, in Lisbon against Sporting CP. The final result was 3–3, with Milutinović becoming the first scorer in a most prestigious club competition in Europe.
Partizan's babies (1958–1966)[link]
| 1966 European Cup Final starting lineup (coach: Abdulah Gegić). |
By the mid 1950s, the first big Partizan generation was well over its peak. Only two titles and four cups in first 15 years of existence were not enough for a club of Partizan's stature, ambition and popularity. In 1958, club left way behind 13 years of playing in blue-red kits and adopted the now famous black and white colors. The change in a club's image and appearance was followed by radical changes in the playing squad. The number of young players, offsprings of Partizan's own youth ranks known as Partizanove bebe (The Partizan's babies), soon emerged into one of the best generations Europe's ever seen. The rise of the generation began with Milutin Šoškić, Fahrudin Jusufi, Jovan Miladinović, Velibor Vasović, Milan Galić, Ilija Mitić, Zvezdan Čebinac, Lazar Radović, Vladica Kovačević and Velimir Sombolac. Very soon, they were joined by Ljubomir Mihajlović and Mustafa Hasanagić, and finally Ivan Ćurković, Josip Pirmajer, Branko Rašović and Radoslav Bečejac. Managers Spitz, Matekalo and Bobek monitored and guided their development. The decision to rely mostly on youngsters quickly gave results – Partizan took three consecutive championship titles, in 1960–61, 1961–62 and 1962–63. Efficient and attractive performances earned the club its popular nickname Parni valjak (The Steamroller). In 1964–65 season, the team added the fourth title in five years.
The 1965–66 European Cup campaign was the crown of this generation's career. After eliminating Nantes (2–0, 2–2) and Werder Bremen (3–0, 1–0) in the first two rounds, Partizan were drawn against Sparta Prague in the quarterfinals. In the first leg, held in Prague, Partizan suffered a hard 4–1 defeat. Although they were not given any chances in the return leg in Belgrade, Partizan pulled off a convincing 5–0 win in front of 50.000 spectators, and with aggregate score 6–4 qualified for the semifinals. Manchester United, led by George Best and Bobby Charlton, awaited them on the last step to the finals. Partizan won in a first leg on Stadion JNA with 2–0, and resisted the heavy pressure on Old Trafford, conceding only once, so with 2–1 on aggregate they eliminated English giants. Partizan's babies achieved the greatest success in history of Partizan, a place in 1966 European Cup final against the famous Real Madrid. The final game was played on 11 May, at Heysel Stadium, Brussels. Until 70th minute Partizan was 1–0 up (goal by Velibor Vasović), but lost to the Spaniards 2–1 at the end. Still, Partizan became the first club from Eastern Europe to have played in a European Cup final.
Crisis (1966–1976)[link]
The sudden increase in the reputation of Partizan team was not followed by increase in the organizational structure. After the defeat in the finals, club administration failed to operate on a higher level, and Partizan entered a long organizational crisis. All main players signed contracts with biggest western clubs, and the promising generation was scattered. This was a period of mediocre results, and for a decade not a single trophy was won. Few players remained from the previous generation – Milan Damjanović, Blagoje Paunović and Borivoje Đorđević. In a short period of time, numerous managers were in position. The arrival of Momčilo Vukotić and Nenad Bjeković announced better days for Black & Whites.
The Brief Return (1976–1982)[link]
On 11 July 1976, in Ljubljana, Partizan played the last game of the season against Olimpija and needed a win to clinch the title ahead of rivals Hajduk Split. In the last second before the final whistle Bjeković scored the winning goal and Partizan won 0–1. The 7th championship trophy was finally won, after full decade of waiting, by the new generation of players, such as Vukotić, Bjeković, Rešad Kunovac, Ilija Zavišić, Refik Kozić, Ivan Golac, Radmilo Ivančević, Boško Đorđević, Nenad Stojković. Partizan won its 8th title in 1977–78 season, enforced with Nikica Klinčarski, Petar Borota, Slobodan Santrač, Aleksandar Trifunović, Xhevat Prekazi, Pavle Grubješić. The same year Partizan won Mitropa Cup. Black & Whites finished first in Group A, ahead of Perugia and Zbrojovka Brno and defeated Hungarian side Honvéd in the finals by 1–0. The manager was Ante Mladinić.
Unexpectedly, the next 1978–79 season turned out to be the worst in Partizan history. They finished 15th in the league, barely avoiding relegation with a 4–2 victory against Budućnost in the last fixture. The new crisis was serious, which reflected in the results next season, when Partizan finished 13th. It took a two more seasons, but Partizan eventually recovered.
Memorable years (1982–1991)[link]
When Momčilo Vukotić, Nenad Stojković, Nikica Klinčarski were joined by Ljubomir Radanović, Zvonko Živković, Zoran Dimitrijević and Dragan Mance, another great generation was formed. Partizan became champion for 1982/83 season, in large part due to extraordinary performances of young Dragan Mance. He helped Partizan win the league by scoring 15 goals, and immediately became a fan favourite. He also led the club in their 1984–85 UEFA Cup second round tie against English side Queens Park Rangers, one of the most memorable matches in the club's history. QPR won the first leg 6–2, but Partizan advanced after a 4–0 return victory.[4] That match was voted on the 70th position among Top 100 greatest matches in the history of football, in a poll organized by Eurosport in September 2009.[5] On 3 September 1985, the players tragically lost their teammate and the fans lost their idol – Mance died in a car crash on Novi Sad-Belgrade highway. He was only 22 years old, and at the peak of his popularity. In his honour, the street next to the clubs stadium in Belgrade carries his name.[6]
In 1985–86 season, Partizan won the title with a 4–0 win over Željezničar, due to better goal difference than second-placed Red Star. However, Yugoslav FA president Slavko Šajber decided that the entire last round of fixtures had to be replayed, after accusations that certain results had been fixed. Partizan refused to replay its match, after which the game was awarded 3–0 to Željezničar, and the title was given to Red Star, who got to play in 1986–87 European Cup. Because of these events, twelve clubs started the next 1986–87 season with a deduction of 6 points, Partizan among them. Vardar, who had not been deducted 6 points, won the title, and participated in 1987–88 European Cup. However, after a sequence of appeals and lawsuits which eventually led to Yugoslav Constitutional Court, the original final table of 1985–86 season, with Partizan as champions, was officially recognized in mid 1987. Also, the points deduction from 1986–87 season was annulled, and the title was given to Partizan, who headed the table without the deduction. These controversial events prevented the generation of Milko Đurovski, Fahrudin Omerović, Zvonko Varga, Vladimir Vermezović, Admir Smajić, Goran Stevanović, Nebojša Vučićević, Miloš Đelmaš, Srečko Katanec, Fadil Vokrri and Bajro Župić from showing their full potential in Europe.
Partizan spent the final years in SFR Yugoslavia undergoing significant organizational changes. In 1989, former goalkeeper Ivan Ćurković became club president while Mirko Marjanović became the president of Partizan's executive board. Most important Partizan players in this final years were Predrag Mijatović, Slaviša Jokanović, Predrag Spasić, Dragoljub and Branko Brnović, Budimir Vujačić, Vujadin Stanojković, Darko Milanič and Džoni Novak. However, this great generation was overshadowed by their crosstown rivals Red Star's rampage through domestic league and Europe. Partizan only won the 1989 national cup, 32 years after the last victory in that competition. The last trophy won before the breakup of Yugoslavia was the 1989 Yugoslav Super Cup, the first and the only one organized. In 1987, Partizan signed it's first foreign players – Chinese national team players Jia Xiuquan and Liu Haiguang. Although they didn't become first-team regulars, they were quite popular among the fans.
Decade of domestic success (1990s)[link]
After the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia Partizan won two titles in a row in 1993 and 1994. Next three championships Partizan won in 1996, 1997 and 1999. Partizan also won national cups in 1992, 1994 and 1998. The key man for these trophies was Ljubiša Tumbaković. He became the most successful manager in the history of Partizan. In 1997 Partizan was reintroduced to European competitions following the lift of the UEFA ban on clubs from FR Yugoslavia. This decade has been marked by numerous team changes and the circle of selling the best players to richer European clubs after just a couple of seasons of first-team football and replacing them with fresh young talents. Many players are credited with the successes of the nineties, such as Predrag Mijatović, Slaviša Jokanović, Savo Milošević, Albert Nađ, Dragan Ćirić, Zoran Mirković, Saša Ćurčić, Branko Brnović, Goran Pandurović, Dražen Bolić, Niša Saveljić, Damir Čakar, Budimir Vujačić, Ivan Tomić, Gjorgji Hristov, Đorđe Tomić, Ivica Kralj, Mateja Kežman and many others.
Domination in Serbia and reestablishment in Europe (2000s)[link]
In the last 12 years, Partizan has won 8 national championships (2001–02, 2002–03, 2004–05, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11, 2011–12), 4 cups and managed to qualify two times for the UEFA Champions League.

Next game Partizan played against Arsenal at Partizan Stadium and lost 1–3 (1–1), after they played inspired football with a 10 man in last 30 min's of the match. In two matches against Braga, Partizan failed to score and they lost both games (0–2 in Braga; 0–1 in Belgrade). The last two rounds in the group have also brought inspired football, but unfortunately it wasn't enough so Shakhtar Donetsk and Arsenal defeated Partizan once again, 0–3 (0–0) in Belgrade and 1–3 (0–1) at the Emirates Stadium.
In the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, Partizan reached the round-of-16 in the UEFA Cup, where it was eliminated by CSKA Moscow, the eventual winner of the competition. In the 2007–08 UEFA Cup qualifying stages, Partizan was expelled and fined €30,056 due to crowd trouble, after fighting broke out with opponent fans during their qualifying match against HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, and after beating them by an aggregate score of 11–1.[7] Seasons 2007–08 and 2008–09 will remain as one of the most successful in club's domestic history. In season 2008–09 the club successfully defended their league and cup double from 2007–08 season, for the first time in its history. On 21 July 2009, Partizan demolished Welsh champions Rhyl, with a score of 8–0 (12–0 on agg.) This score is their largest ever winning margin in European competitions.

Colours[link]
Until the 1970s all clubs from Europe did not wear jerseys of famous manufacturers. It is known that the first manufacturer of sports equipment that highlighted its logo on the jersey was the Admiral (Leeds United's uniform) in the 1973. In the mid-70s Partizan equipment consisted of prevail striped or plain white jerseys with a collar, with Adidas shorts. The late 70's (1977, 1978) Partizan often carries a set of Adidas gear, mostly in white. From season 1978–79 Partizan's first long contract with "Sport" sport manufacturer from Belgrade. Cooperation with the "Sport" manufacturer lasts until early spring season of 1982–83, when Partizan returns to "Adidas", wearing striped jerseys usually with thin lines. By the end of the 80's, shorts was almost always white, like socks. Adidas only changed the design of shirt collar and color sleeve. Since 1983–85 were white, and then the 1985–86 and 1986–87 black, returning to the white sleeves was in the late 1987. In early 1990, Partizan left "Adidas" after 7 years and entered into a contract with an anonymous Swiss sport manufacturer "Vocado". Next season, "Vocado" goes the classic striped shirts, it's a jersey in which Partizan won the Cup in 1992. It remains to remember the first red and blue jersey after more than 30 years, carried in Malta against Hibernian in the UEFA Cup in 1990. The following sanctions and an inability to find well-known foreign sponsor, and Partizan then carries all sorts of sport kits – "Admiral", and then the derby in 1993 with a set of white Diadora gear, then the derby at home venue in the Umbro equipment. For 1994–95 season a new technical sponsor was the Japanese Asics then since 1996–97 sponsor was Nike. Nike releases a new 1998–99 season jersey, mainly white with a blue set of applications on the collar. In spring 2000, Partizan exceeds with the local "NAAI", and afterwards from 2000–01 contracted with Puma sport manufacturer. Striped jerseys were quite identical as the Nike jerseys from the 1996–97 and 1997–98 season. Later on, club moved to the Kappa jerseys. In the first season, the stripes on the jersey were thin and then moved to wide. All this time there was a spare and lots of variants – gray, red and blue, white and black jerseys. In the 2010–11 season Partizan returned to tradition with the most powerful global brand – Adidas.[8][9]

Crest[link]
The first Crest carried by FK Partizan consisted of a blue circle with a red, five-pointed star edged in yellow with the letters JA – Jugoslovenska Armija (The Yugoslav Army). Soon, the crest was completely altered and began to take the shape of the crest that is seen today. The central circle became white with a red five-pointed star in it, inside a blue circle in which it was written – "The Yugoslav Army" and both were bordered by a yellow circle and over the circle was a green wreath. At the bottom of the emblem were red and white lines, and on the top there was a red torchlight (a clear reference to the National Emblem of the former Yugoslavia.) In the fifties, FK Partizan was separated from the Army (JNA) and for the first time, the team's name was written in Cyrillic and Latin in the yellow outer circle of the Club's Crest. The inscription of the Yugoslav Army disappeared from the crest and was replaced by the words Sports Association. Partizan used this Emblem until 1958, when it changed its club colors of blue and red to black and white. Then, the Sports Society proceeded to completely ommit all Yugoslav Army symbols from the crest. The Crest was changed to be completely black and white, while the red torch and five-pointed star remained. From 1992, Yugoslavia ceased to exist and instead of Jugoslovensko Sportsko Društvo (Yugoslav Sports Association) in a black circle on the crest for the first time was inserted the words – Football Club and this emblem has remained unchanged to date. In the 2007–08 season, FK Partizan won its 20th League championship and added two stars on the top of their emblem, symbolizing the twenty titles won. The new Emblem was designed by academic painter Branko Šotra. However, there is an alternative emblem, which Partizan supporters call the "lopata" (The Shovel). This emblem has found its place only on tickets, souvenirs, annual tickets and club brochures, but has never been seen on the jersey of FK Partizan.[10]

The "black and whites" are record-holders of the Yugoslav First League, in terms of points scored during a campaign, with 107 in one year's championship and are the only unbeaten champion team ever (in the 2004–05 season). Partizan also won the most national championships since the break-up of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, being a champion 12 out of 19 times.

Club fans[link]
Main article: Grobari
First groups of organized supporters began to visit the JNA stadium in the late 1950s. Those were mainly young men from Belgrade, and they occupied southern stands of the stadium. In those times, support was expressed by loud singing as well as polling of referees and opposite team's players.
Partizan's participation in the European Cup final in 1966 attracted much more fans to the stadium, and is considered to be the crucial moment of the organized fans moving to a south stand of the stadium where they are gathering up to this day. Partizan's supporters, Grobari (The Gravediggers), were formed in 1970. The nickname itself was given by their biggest rivals (Delije of Red Star Belgrade), referring to the club's mostly black colors which were similar to the official uniforms of cemetery undertakers. The other theory is that the name arrives from misinterpretation of Partizan's stadium street name – Humska (humka roughly translates as grave), when actually the street was named after Serbian medieval land of Hum, nowadays part of Herzegovina and South Dalmatia. They support all clubs in the Sports Association Partizan. Grobari have become recognizable by noisy and constant cheering and their devotion and loyalty to the club. The basis of their cheering is the principle of voice and palms along with songs in distinctive style. Grobari also do other actions characteristic to organized fan groups, such as choreographies, banners and flares. Danny Dyer featured the Grobari on the Real Football Factories International show. In the episode he labelled the Grobari as a group willing to do anything for the respect of the club.[14]

Lazar Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Лазар Марковић; born 2 March 1994 in Čačak) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Serbian SuperLiga club FK Partizan.
His older brother Filip is also a footballer, currently playing for FK Teleoptik.[2]

Club career[link]
Marković joined FK Partizan as a 12-year-old trainee in 2006.[2] On 29 May 2011, Marković earned a promotion to the first team ahead of the final round of the 2010–11 Serbian SuperLiga, which Partizan played against FK Sloboda Užice. He was given the number 50 shirt. Marković was used as a second-half substitute for Joseph Kizito in his team's 2–1 win.[3]
On 11 July 2011, together with Nikola Ninković, Marković signed his first professional contract with Partizan, on a five-year deal.[4][5] Marković made his first appearance of the 2011–12 season in Partizan's opener against KF Shkëndija, in the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, playing the last three minutes of the match.[6] He scored his first senior goal in a league match versus FK Novi Pazar, on 13 August 2011.[7]
Marković's fantastic performances throughout the course of the season saw him awarded Partizan's Player of the Year award.[8]
International career[link]
In October 2009, Marković made his Serbia under-17 debut in the qualification round for the 2010 UEFA European Championship. In May 2011, he was part of the same team at the 2011 UEFA European Championship, which the country hosted.
Marković skipped the national under-19 selection and was immediately invited to the Serbian under-21 team for their qualification matches for the 2013 UEFA European Championship.[9] He made his debut against Denmark on 11 October 2011.
On 24 February 2012, Marković was called up to the Serbian senior team for their friendly fixtures against Armenia and Cyprus.[10]
